Hi @jeremiecoullon, while we are getting started, could you take a look at that potentially missing DOI? I also noticed some formatting issues with your references, if you could take a look at those too.

For reference, the available citation commands are:

• @author:2001 -> "Author et al. (2001)"
• [@author:2001] -> "(Author et al., 2001)"
• [@author1:2001; @author2:2001] -> "(Author1 et al., 2001; Author2 et al., 2002)"

@whedon invite @dfm as editor

👋 @dfm could you edit this one?

[whedon]

@dfm has been invited to edit this submission.

[dfm]

@whedon assign me as editor

Sure thing! @jeremiecoullon give me a few days to do a first editorial pass and then I'll start recruiting reviewers. Let me know if you have any questions as the process progresses.

[whedon]

OK, the editor is @dfm

[jeremiecoullon]

@kyleniemeyer : thanks for these tips!

• I fixed the reference formatting issue (Baker et al, 2019, Abadi et al 2015). Is this what you meant?
• I added the missing DOI for Baker et al (2019)

Let me know if there are any other issues I can help with
